This training session, delivered by the Education Engagement Team is intended for Worcestershire school-based staff who may need to instigate a request for legal proceedings as part of their school attendance escalation process. The training will explore when a request for legal proceedings maybe appropriate and the requirements upon schools in making such requests. The session will focus on unauthorised pupil absence (including unauthorised leave in term time) and will provide delegates with the latest information and appropriate resources to demonstrate what is required in order for the Local Authority to consider the issuing of a penalty notice or undertake a prosecution.
Audience: School Attendance Leads, Head teachers, School Attendance Officers, or any other school based associated staff with a key role in addressing pupil attendance, absence and welfare would be most welcome. Cost: £38 + VAT per delegate Discount: Book a delegate to attend both Using Legal & Witness Statements on the same day (does not need to be the same delegate per session but must be the same school) then pay only £51 + VAT for both sessions in total, a saving of £15 (full price for both sessions prior to discount is £66 + VAT)
